Milburn Saylor, the hard-hitting light-weight who had such a sensational run of victories in Australia until Fred Kay stemmed his career, is on his way back to the United States. An American writer states that "Sam" Langford is on the toboggan and need not 'be considered eligible to fight Jack Johnson, much less to whip him. 'The "Boston Tar Baby" weighs Jsst 101b, and is "hog-fat." With all the training in the world he could not get his averdupois down and be in condition to fight a hard battle. He is big, gross, and lazy, and only keeps in the game- to pick up what easy change he can get without working too hard for it.
